Again, thanks for reading, number.

And to anyone else also reading:

Please drop a line here or on Mike Wey's https://forum.gtkd.org 
to let me know you're following along. I've been so busy working 
on code examples and blog posts, as well as doing all that life 
stuff, I haven't had time to set up an engagement statistics app 
on the blog site. (To be frank, web technology has raced ahead of 
me over the last ten years and I'm still playing catch up).

Thank you for these tutorials!

Just want to mention that the code on the page (0005) is not in 
sync with the one on github. In the else branch, the former 
uses 'window.setSizeRequest(640, 480)' where the latter uses 
'window.setSizeRequest(-1, -1);' and the comment doesn't make 
sense with the use of -1 because the limit is actually removed.


As for the first code ('Pre-Size a Window'): setSizeRequest() 
might be 'simple' but that doesn't explain what it does, i.e. 
setting a minimum size.


You're right. I noticed as I was getting my Linux installation 
working that this particular example behaves differently 
depending on whether it's compiled on Windows or Linux. I had 
planned to go back and take another look to figure out what those 
differences were, but just haven't gotten to it yet.


I'll get at it as soon as time allows. In the meantime, I hope it 
doesn't distract too much.


Thanks for bringing this back into the forefront for me.

PS: And yeah, I'll get around to dubbing at some point. 
Perhaps after I get the docs parser finished.


Do you know whether GTKD is going to wrap GTK+ 3.24? 
(Currently, it is wrapping the previous version 3.22)


According to Mike Wey over on gtkd.org, yes. He mentioned this in 
response to a question from Antonio back in November 2018. When 
it'll happen, though, is something you'll have to ask Mike.
